A Dog's Approach is Malvern based & offers a supportive service to dogs & their owners seeking a better understanding of & relationship with their companions

Behaviour & Communication

Consultations are one to one and take place in your home and/or out on a local walk, depending upon the behaviours we are working with. Sometimes it is useful to observe a dog in many locations to see how behaviours might differ.

We will cover a lot in this first consult, about you and your dog. You will receive advice and training during our session followed by a written behavioural assessment and tailor made, easy to follow, written training plan. This will provide you with an easy to follow reference guide for teaching commands, understanding your dog’s behaviours and learning how to communicate the canine way.

You also have access to continued support by phone or email in between sessions, as often as needed. 

Consultations can be from 1 to 2 hours and cost £120.00. 

A follow up consultation is recommended 2-3 weeks after the first consult and can be from 1 to 2 hours, costing £65.00.

The frequency of future follow ups will depend upon the nature of the problem and the pace of both you and your dog’s needs and progress. Again, you will have my continued support and help throughout.

  • 1.5-2 hours assessment time, training and advice.
  • 1.5-2 hours tailor made report and training plan.

Aroma-Wellness...A Dog's Nose Knows

Firstly, you will receive an assessment form to fill in for you and your dog. Based on your answers and alongside a Meridian Balance Assessment, I will work out what essential oils, hydrosols, nutritional powders, diet changes and/or herbs your dog could benefit from.

We book in a consultation date and I bring with me, a written Meridian Balance report and any botanicals I recommend for your dog.

The session will incorporate all of what is included in a behavioural assessment, alongside a demonstration on how to offer essential oils to your dog and a chat through the Meridian Balance report.

Consultations can be from 1 to 2 hours and cost £140.00. 

You also have access to continued support by phone or email in between sessions, as often as needed.

It is likely that your dog will choose to select the botanicals for up to 2 weeks, so a follow up consultation would be 2 weeks after the first consult and can be from 1 to 2 hours, costing £75.00.

The frequency of future follow ups will depend upon the nature of the problem and the pace of both you and your dog’s needs and progress. Again, you will have my continued support and help throughout.

  • 1.5 hours Meridian Balance assessment, written report and botanicals to offer. 
  • 1.5-2 hours assessment time, training and advice.
  • 1.5-2 hours tailor made report and training plan.
